Question
A block of Mass 1 kg traveling in a straight line with a velocity of 10 m/s collides with and sticks to a stationary wooden block of Mass 5kg . Then they both move off together in the same straight line.Calculate the total momentum just before the impact, just after the impact and the velocity of the combined object
Open in App
Solution
M1 = 1 kg v1 = 10 m/s
m2 = 5 kg v2 = 0
velocity after collision = v
total linear momentum before the impact = total linear momentum after the impact
m1 v1 + m2 v2 = (m1 + m2) v
1 * 10 + 5 * 0 = 6 * v
=> v = 1.667 m/sec
